COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
- A deep amber colored ale with a noticeable hop aroma. All of the flavors and aromas of a highly hopped beer are balanced with a combination of several quality barley malts to prove a surprisingly drinkable 7.47% ABV beer. At BBW we believe that an IPA should have a good malt character to sing along with the abundance of bittering and flavor hops used. This beer is unfiltered and unpasteurized and is partially bottle conditioned therefore it may have a small amount of yeast sediment on the bottom of the bottle. We suggest letting this beer warm up slightly from refrigeration temperature then pour into 2 clean clear pint glasses roughing the beer up a bit (pour aggressively) at the end of each pour to bring up a nice thick head. You may reserve any sediment and dispose or drink it - please don’t be afraid of sediment! It is the result of living yeast and is yummy. We hope you enjoy this beer as much as we do and share it responsibly with friends.

Pours tea colored with a small white head. Leafy hop aromas. Tea, tobacco and a smattering of malts make up the flavor profile. Overall an average IPA.

UPDATED: SEP 30, 2011 Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours medium brown center (a little darker than most IPAs) with large tea colored highlights and small beige head. Medium small bubble lacing, thick body, well carbonated, and slick texture. Taste is malt, bitterness, and piney finish. Alcohol is well covered and this is really refreshing. This one of my least favorite styles, but this is well above average.

Pours a nice amber color. Aroma was a little spicy and floral. Flavor was certainly more than I’d expected. Powerful malt sweetness to balance out the herbal hoppiness. Definitely a solid IPA. Good stuff from WV.

JStax (834) - Devola, Ohio, USA - APR 17, 2011
Poured from bottle into a large wine glass. Appearance is a dark brown with a thin beige head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is hops and fruity pebbles. Taste is wood-tree bark- and floral hops. Somewhat fruity in the finish but still hop focused. Pretty solid and drinkable IPA without being over the top.

A soapy IPA that has a nice floral finish and drinks very easy for it’s ABV. Without a doubt one of the better WV beers that I have ever had. I am drinking it maybe a little too cold, thus there is chill haze. Woodsy earthy finish. Promising.
